The competition gives each student three avenues for success.

PREPARATION

The SPC provides students with a tangible goal to incorporate musical artistry, technical ability, and performance skill during their practice and preparation.

EDUCATION

Scores provide a base for improvement. With five areas of evaluation, students and teachers will quickly see the student’s strengths and those areas that need improvement.

COMPETITION

The SPC provides reward and motivation for students to improve their overall musical presentation. Competition can be individualized with the goal of improving their score each succeeding year, and the awards and prizes used to evaluate progress and ability within the specific music and age category.
